Derek Landy
As the helmsman of the wildly-successful Skulduggery Pleasant series,Derek Landy exchanged a life as a sometime writer of screenplays to,almost overnight,becoming one of the world's biggest names in children's fiction. Debuting in 2007,Skulduggery Pleasant took its readers on a wild ride to the undead,where the niece of a famous horror writer suddenly discovers that what he was writing wasn't so fictional after all. In 2015,Landy briefly stepped away from his Skulduggery duties to pen a fresh trilogy for young adults,Demon Road,and as something of a Whovian,contributed a tale to the Doctor Who collection 12 Doctors 12 Stories.
